  James S. Russell and Carol Hosler In the Limelight with Clarissa Burt

  Jul 23, 202628 min

  James Sylvan Russell is a retired educator who served as Dean of Business and Computer Technology at Mt. Hood Community College. After retiring in 2001, he became a writer and advocate focused on caregiving and younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease. He has described himself as guided by the biblical words of Micah 6:8: to pursue justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. His book’s complete title is Best Dad in the Galaxy: She Said It. It was published in 2026 by Intellect Publishing, LLC. The paperback is approximately 334 pages. The story centers on James’s daughter, Lynne, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s in her early 50s while raising three teenage sons. James and his wife, Karen, left their retirement community and moved closer so they could help care for Lynne and her boys. Then the story becomes even more painful: Karen died of cancer about a year later. James was left grieving his wife while becoming Lynne’s principal caregiver. He also underwent cancer treatment himself during the caregiving years. The title comes from a shirt Lynne gave him that read “Best Dad in the Galaxy.” According to James, he had previously been more of a loving but somewhat removed “provider.” Caring for Lynne transformed their relationship into the close, daily father-daughter bond he felt they had missed earlier in life. Lynne lived with Alzheimer’s for roughly ten years and died in 2024. The account follows her decline through memory loss, COVID isolation, memory care, hospice and her final goodbye—when she squeezed her sons’ hands. Listen as James and Carol, James' new partner recount their extraordinary love connection and how it's changed their lives.

  Karen A. Herrera In the Limelight with Clarissa Burt

  Jul 23, 202621 min

  Karen A. Herrera is the author of Perimenopause Clarity and a writer who believes that laughter is medicine, honesty is power, and that sharing our stories, especially the messy middle parts, can help others feel less alone. A 1997 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Karen has been writing off and on for years, but her lifelong “someday” dream of being an author didn’t fully move from intention to action until March of 2025. She hasn’t looked back. Perimenopause Clarity is her first full book, born from her own search for answers during a confusing and often isolating phase of life. What started as a witty essay she was writing in her spare time, a career pivot in midlife caused her to reassess her own goals. What started as personal research quickly became a mission to help women navigate hormonal shifts with humor, hope, and a healthy dose of science. Her goal is simple: help women feel seen, supported, and empowered to take charge of their health and happiness. https://karenaherrera.com/
